Surprisingly, the general manager offered to exchange the tires for me, and we'd settle up, plus or minus, on delivery. He said he would have no trouble at all selling those Summer performance tires. I'll have to pay for the dismount/mount and balancing regardless of the cost diff between the tires. Last time I checked, the Conti's were $17.00 less per tire. So it'll be almost a wash. We do get some pretty cold weather here in Oklahoma and sometimes significant snowfall.
